Purchasing a cheap TV doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be signing up for lackluster picture quality, but this can certainly be the case with entry-level models. Fortunately, brands like Vizio prioritize picture quality at every price point, and it just so happens that one of the brand’s budget-friendly sets costs even less today!

For a limited time, when you purchase the Vizio 50-inch V4K50M 4K LED at Walmart and Target, you’ll only pay $215. The full MSRP on this TV is $268.

Why you should buy the Vizio V4K50M Series

The Vizio V4K50M Series delivers a colorful 4K picture that holds up well in brightly lit rooms. While this LED lacks a local dimming feature, Vizio’s class-leading HDR support (including an enhanced version of Dolby Vision) bumps up highlights and other picture details.

While the TV has a native 60Hz refresh rate, features like ALLM and Dolby Vision HDR Gaming give you the smoothest gaming experience possible for both consoles and PC setups. You’ll also be able to connect the V4K50M to Wi-Fi to use Vizio Home, an app-packed smart hub that even gives you access to free live TV stations.

We’re also big fans of the fact that you can connect a pair of Bluetooth headphones to the V4K50M for private listening. It’s hard to say how long this sale is going to last, but TV deals like this one tend to be over in a flash. So, don’t wait to save!

Marshall launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV

Marshall has refreshed two of its most popular wireless speakers. The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

Better sound, smarter design

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back

No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
